County Treasurer bJipps in Reply
to H S. Montgomery.

To TIE NOTERs or PHILLIPs COUNTY. KAS;
In regard TO the charges of Il. s. Montgomery
in the Long Island IHter-Ocean, of October 6th,
wish to say that when Montgomery first ap-
preached me for loan Of S31O and told me what
a financial strait he was in, ! thought I would
lend him the money as soon as could get that
sum which was coming TO me. At first I had no
suspicious that he intended to play confidence
game on me, but when [ got intimations that he
was trying his schemes on other candidates, last
year as well as this year, and especially when 1
found that there were two mortgages ahead Of
the mortgage he proposed TO give me on his prop
erty. then lost confidence In what he told me
and held him OF till ] could more fully under
stand his motive and ascertain If he was really
the man he was represented TO be, When be-
came convinced that his game was TO eztort mon
ey from me because was candidate for Treas
urer, then refused 10 have anything further to
do with him, and in company with the other can
didates, believed it to be my duty to uncover the
man who would resort 10 such methods to raise
money. The letters purporting to be from me
published in the Inter Ocean of October sth, are
not correct copies of those sent him. 1 may not
be as good speIler as some people who had bet
ter Advantages for acquiring IN education than
had, but of one thing VIII assure the public,
that from early boyhood till now have been a
hard working mechanic and farmer and have new
er taken dollar that was not honestly earned by
me. If / cannot spell as well as Mr.. Moatgom-
cry am good enough accountant to have kept
the books OF the Treasurer office correctly as my
late settlement with the Commissioners show.
The taxpayers Of Phillips county may rest assur-
ed that if they re-elect me, all the funds Of the
county viii be properly accounted for, and that /
presume is of greater importance than whether
am as fine peuman and good speller as H. s,
Montgomery or not. If am to be defeated at the
polls because / finally refused to allow H. S.
Montgomery to beat me ont Of 1910, md because
/ am not as good writer as he, then VIII take
such defeat as composedly as possible, with the
reelection that an hOuestupright life, faithful de-
votion to principle, integrity and honor, ayails
nothing if viii not allow political renegade to
bleed me ont of nearly one third Of my salary. I
submit my case to the honest, industrious voters
Of Phillips county, men who are opposed to
trclzery and corruption in politics, and with their
verdict will be content, ! viii say in conclusion
to IL. s. Montgomery that if had been in the
trickery and Matchmaking business as long as he
perhaps, might be as good speller and penmaH
as he is. JACOB NIPPS.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1887-11-04

Voters, remember that the election
is on next Tuesday. The opposition Is
concentrating nearly all their fight on
Nipps. Morton and Hartman. These
are the candidates that Montgomery Of
Long Island, and the PhilGpsburg
Democrat are so anxious to defeat.
They have not made single charge
against them that has not been refuted.
All three candidates have served one
term acceptably; they are temperate
honest, and efficient; they were fairly
nominated, and there is not a single
good reason that can be assigned why
they should not be reelected. We can
not believe that the violent attacks of
II S. Montgomery on these candi-
dates because they would not furnish
him a certain amount Of money for his
support will cause the voters of this
county to defeat them, and thus en-
dorse the Montgomery Methods In
Phillips county. If Nipps, Morton and
Hartman, are to be defeated because
they would not ''put up money!" then
politics are in bad shape in Phillips
county. Let every friend Of these can
didates, and every lover Of fair play
and Of honesty in political methods, go
to the polls next Tuesday, and rebuke
political tIickery and crookedneSs, by
casting a ballot for the candidates
that The opDOsitiOn Is so very ANXIOUS
to defeat.

From Solomon.

Mr. EDITOR Dear Sir:-I wish to
present to the voters of Phillips county
a few facts and reasons why we should
down S. j. Hartman and put Chas.
Ernst in his place.
1st. Hartman is intelligent, honest in
principle, politics and as an official,
while Ernst is neither, having showed
a lack of intelligence three years ago
when be went into the Republican con-
ventiOn and was defeated by TWO votes
for commissioner and went out of that
conyentiCn denUuncing the grand old
party that has stood the storms for 20
years, one year agO put on . false face
20 defeat W. IL. Mcbride in Valley.
ID. Because Hartman is no saloon
bum, won't drink and carr0use with
the boys until 3 O'Clock in the morning,
then leave town making night hideous
and raising the natives from quiet slum-
bers, expecting to find their homes in
vaded by demons from the plains.
No, Hartman won't do these things,
but Ernst will, and has for lot these
many years. Yes, boys, he's the fel-
low that rides all the political horses at
once, drinks all kinds of drinks (but
wate) and amt dignified like some
people, nc - 5Hll5LoL VIII uLuuhCu
debauchery seven days out Of the week
and all that he needs now to make him
happy is office. just anything and by
any party. One more requirement he
has that Hartman has not. He can use
prOfane and obscene language in the
presence of gentlemen or ladies with
impunity.
Now what more do you fellows want.
We have known Ernst we'll and know
that he possesses all these gusHfca-
tions, while we have known Hartman
five years or more and know him to be
modest and unassuming gentleman.
He has even been forced to work Tor
whole sale houses and travel at a small
salary, handing hundreds of dollars oi
goods and money GajIy. / never heard
of his having any trouble with bis
books, but then he is too quiet and re
serve Tor us fellows, and lets put the
hummer in and I'll guarantee that
when We 90 10 the burg next summer,
Charley will sci uY tie alcohol and rain
waiter with rock candy. just like he al
ways does aud il he don't bays it at
hand, he'll chip in and get &c.

Ph1lIipsburg the Coming BEetrOpO-
lis Of Northwestern
Kaneaa


Phillipsburg is now town Of about
1000 inhabitants and its future is a very
promising one. At this time the
grading is nearly done on the road bed
of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska
railroad, from Phillipsburg eastward
and the cars will soon reach Us. This
road is a part Of the great Rock Island
system. The intentions of this company
so far as they effect PhiIhpsburg, have
only recently been made public. II is
now known that this is to be one of
the two most important points on that
great thoroughlaI between St. Joseph
Mo-, and Denver, Colorado. The Rock
Island Railroad Town Co. have recent
ly purchased, adjoining or near the
town site, 600 acres OF land, and are
now engaged in surveying and plating
extensive additions q stone and brick
round house" consisting of eighteen
stalls when finished, is IN process Of
erection a largs reservoir is also be-
ing constructed, and it has been an
nounced by the proper officials Of said
road, that Phillipsburg is to be the end
Of both freight and passenger divisions.
1t has been further stated by those who
are in position to know, that a branch
road of the c. X. & n. Is to be built
from Salina to this city next year.
We have good reaso rs for the belief
that a branch of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe, and of the Central Branch
of the Union Pacific, will be extended
to this place within q comparatively
shart time.
An examination of the map OF Kan
sas ought to convince any person that
Phillipsburg is destined to be the most
populous and most important city in
ten or twelve counties in Northwestern
Kansas. Let US summarize 1t Is to
have the shops and division, and a
branch of the Q. X & N. That compa-
ny is largely interested in real estate
here; our location is most admirable;
it is the county seat OF one Of the best
counties in Kansas 1t has no riva
town, that can be properly called such,
within fifty miles we have, close by
and easy Of access, in great abundance
fire clay pOtters clay, splendid brick
clay, good building stone, and an
abundance Of good water We have u
moral temperate, cnterprising people g,
who have unlimited faith in the future
greatness Of the place, and who stand
ready to encourage capitalists and
others to locate here.
To those who are seeking new
homes, or who wish to invest capital,
we say, come to Phillipsburg or 10
Phillips county. Business is not over
done, and real estate is not high. Our
climate is desirable. we have good
schools, prosperous churches. a moral
and intelligent people, a rich soil and
a healthtuI country,

paper is ten years old. 1t was estab-
lished by G.. W. Stinson in 1873 It
has had several different proprietors
and editors, some of whom inform US
that they pus into the concern two and
half dollars for every single dollar
they got out of it. For nine years it
had no competitor. From a small be-
ginning it has grown to be the best
equipped printing Office in northwest
ern Kansas. At first when the country
was new and the people poor, its cir
culation was small, but it stuck right
here and never missed an issue. Its
list of subscribers gradually increased
and that too without canvass till to-
day it has an average circulation Of
about 1000 copies, and nearly every
leading farmers name is upon our
books. All experienced newspaper
men know that it requires several years
to put "a newspaper on to u solid foun-
dation. This Is not readily done in less
than six or eight years. The publisher
who gathers Up names in any way and
eyeryWay and mails his paper to those
parties, can never feel sure that he is
not losing money for ne does not know
that he will get his pay for papers thus
sent, and experience has shown that
the larger such a list is the faster the
publisher is losing money. 1t requires
many wears to determine the value of a
subscription list to a newspaper. Col
lections must be made, names dropped

This is the last issue of the HERALD
before election. Our readers will bear
witness that the HERALD, during the
campaign, has totally refrained from
the slang-whanging style of writing
about the Democratic and Union Labor
candidates. We have treated them ali
as gentlemen, as indeed we believe they
are. We cannot say as much for the
conduct OF some of the opposition to-
wards the Republican candidates.
Democrat Montgomery has been espec-
tally personal toward a portion of the
Republican ticket. We hope to see the
day when newspapers can discuss Ques-
tions and candidates on their merits
rather than from a mere partisan stand
point, and do it in a way free from
bitter personalities and vindictive filings.
So far as the HERALD is concerned it
proposes to stand tor temperance, for
the best men for Office, for the rights
and interest Of the great masses, and
will not defend a wrong committed by
the Republican nor any other party,
nor misrepresent men because they do
not belong to the party with which the
HERALD acts.
